    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    I noticed a single (minor) glitch so far with Nintendont, where the action A button icon doesn't appear in wind waker I also noticed that configurable usb loader requires devolution, and I think wiiflow prefers it, as it's not showing any gamecube games with nintendon't installed. do you think...

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    didn't notice that sorry DX I managed to install the original MIOS, and nintendon't, and the games are working as expected now. however, I can't see my gamecube games on wiiflow anymore. Though I can see them in configurable usbloader, but not bootable, and working as intended on usbloader gx...

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    so, do I have to uninstall dios mios if I get nintendont? and how would I do that anyways? I'm guessing I would have to install the original MIOS, and it would automatically replace it since everyone is dodging that question

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    I don't know how to switch to regular gamecube loader, tbh. I remember when gamecube games did work, it would show the double side by side squished dios mios logo whether I load the game from the hard drive or a retail disc. Though it would stop working at some point (depending on the game) if I...

    I don't think it's a hard drive problem, because as I mentioned earlier, even retail discs have this issue

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    I really wish I could edit the title... so, I seem to be able to load games just fine ever since I switched to a hard drive (was using a usb stick). Haven't had any issues loading wii games HOWEVER! I can't load any gamecube games whatsoever! I tried usbloader gx, configurable, wiiflow, and...

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    So. I was right. The write protection was on, and I had to connect the WP pin to ground. However, what was labeled as WP wasn't the pin I was supposed to connect to ground, so thank you nintendo for confusing the crap out of me for a few hours...

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    I used modmii to download syscheck it's possible that the sd card is write protected, since I didn't connect the WP pin on the card socket to ground (couldn't find any documentation on the thing ok :c) which would mean that I would have to open the wii up again, and that would take a good few...

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    alright, so I connected the CD pin to ground, and it seems to work fine now, but it thinks that there's an SD slot in the system all the time. I also found out that there is ANOTHER pin called WP (write protection), but I managed to copy something to the SD card without it connected to anything...

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    so, I got the SD card sockets from the link, and I realized after disassembling the wii that there's an extra pin that doesn't exist in regular sd slots. On top of that, I couldn't desolder the original slot, so I had to brake it off, so now I can't put it back. Any ideas?

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    funny story, the SD card slot just gave out. It doesn't click anymore, it just keeps pushing the card out. In my attempts to fix this issue without disassembling the console, I broke one of the pins -_- I'm gonna have to solder a new one after all DX do you know if it requires a specific type...

    I just noticed that I had an outdated version of wiiflow -_- just updated it, and now I can actually click on things without it freezing, and I found the reload cache button. I also attempted installing multiple games, and so far only the one gamecube game I tested installed. NSMBW froze at 9%...

    Hacking I can't load games off my USB drive

    as I stated in the original post, configurable usb loader would freeze trying to install a game, usb loader gx would start at 100% progress bar, and I wouldn't be able to press anything, so I would have to reset the console, and as for wiiflow, the progress bar wouldn't change, but in some...

    that link you posted for the tutorial is the same one I followed (see original post), and I couldn't install any games with that setup, which is why I installed all of the stuff I did do you have an explanation as to why that happened? so that I could prevent it next time?
